I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Not everyone can protest. Here are 10 different roles to enact social change. 🙏🏼@dontcallmemelys (IG)

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

UCS’s Omanjana Goswami talked to @civileats.com about Big Ag's lobbying efforts ahead of the anticipated debate over a farm bill. “This system—how it’s set up and how the current administration is also moving it—is unfortunately where profits take precedence over people and the environment.”

Who showed up in person to fight for Brad Lander yesterday? These five mayoral candidates did: - Zohran Mamdani - Scott Stringer - Adrienne Adams - Michael Blake - Zellnor Myrie Know who wasn’t there? - Andrew Cuomo NYC, don’t rank Cuomo.

Fraud = Elon Musk. Waste = SpaceX contracts.

We could see one of the largest fire sales of public lands in our nation’s history affecting nearly 3 million acres and 120 national parks. The Senate reconciliation bill also slashes funding for park staffing and prioritizes oil & gas drilling. Act now: www.npca.org/notforsale

After significant public outcry, the Texas Senate left House Bill 3225 pending on the floor during the 2025 legislative session. The identical Senate Bill 2101 was similarly left pending in committee. www.everylibrary.org/texas2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social‬

REMINDER: I’m hosting my next in-person town hall on Saturday, June 21st. I can't wait to hear from you, Estacada!

The mother of Adrian Andrew Martinez is pleading for answers as her son remains unaccounted for nearly 24 hours later. ICE kidnapped Adrian yesterday while he was on break in the Walmart parking lot in Pico Rivera. FREE ADRIAN!

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.

Happy Juneteenth! Juneteenth officially became a federal holiday thanks to 98-year-old Opal Lee, known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” who advocated and led efforts for years for this day to be recognized.

Trump’s ICE is NOT going to care that these young men are in uniform when federal agents go to detain their mother. What a travesty that these wonderful young men who are serving our country have to accompany their mother to her immigration hearing.

Not a month or a day!

Ending tonight with another predictable story around folks who spend their time terrorizing queer children. Is *anyone* surprised by this? We could build a predictive model with just one line of code. If you have a favorite zealot-to-predator story post it below.

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw

The MAGA tax plan isn’t just unfair—it’s cruel. It would gut programs that help working people, seniors, and families so billionaires can hoard more wealth. Tonight in Philly, protesters held a "die-in" to call upon Sen. Dave McCormick to reject cuts to Medicaid the budget reconciliation bill.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal. On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums. bit.ly/4cXcPFj via @everylibrary.bsky.social

They didn’t perform a cesarean.They harvested a fetus from her corpse. Let’s call it what it is: an experiment. A inhumane experiment carried out on a Black woman, because historically, we know medical institutions use Black bodies as test subjects before offering those same treatments to

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Yesterday a federal judge in New York heard arguments in a case challenging the Trump administration’s attempt to shut down the Job Corps program. The judge extended his order to pause the closure to next Wednesday, which means Job Corps is safe—for the next week.

Juneteenth is a day of truth—and a day of possibility. It marks the moment in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Texas were finally told they were free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor. No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state. 📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.

Trump has doubled down on his calls for ICE to get even more aggressive and unlawful, particularly in blue states and big cities. State Attorneys General have real power to fight back, and we need to put the pressure on Democratic AGs to use every tool at their disposal to hold ICE in check. 👇
